The Kauffman Foundation will host a first-ever summit of its kind on entrepreneurship in Kansas City in the summer of 2017. Our vision: to build and support a dedicated community of the world’s “entrepreneurial ecosystem builders.”

This event combines several of the Foundation’s national gatherings into one large event. It will be designed to provide a comprehensive understanding and collective experience of ecosystem building.
